About the Company
- Artefact is a new generation of data and AI consultancy, and one of the fastest growing.
- In the last six months alone we've grown from 2,000 to 2,500 people, now serving over 3,000 clients across 36 offices in 27 countries.
- Founded in 2014 and backed by Cinven, we're Europe's largest pureplay consultancy in data and AI.
- We specialise in data consulting and AI-driven transformation, working with organisations across the globe to turn data into measurable business impact.
- We don't just offer strategies. We frame problems, design solutions, build the technology, and operate what we deliver.
- We're technology-agnostic but technology-deep.
- We hold premium partnerships with the platforms shaping this industry, including Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, Databricks, and AWS.
- Half of our projects involve collaboration across more than two offices.
- Our teams bring together AI specialists, data scientists, data engineers, and digital experts.
- Progression here is earned, not timed. We don't run on tenure. We run on impact, and strong performers move fast.
- Our UK office is at an inflection point, scaling fast.
- We work across a broad range of industries, including Retail Banking, Insurance, Private Equity, Energy & Utilities, Retail & E-commerce, CPG & FMCG, and Automotive.
- Our engagements run end to end, from strategy and governance through to delivery of high value data and AI solutions.
- The problems we work on are the ones organisations are genuinely wrestling with right now: Data Platform Strategy and Build, Generative AI Strategy, Agentic AI Strategy & Deployment, AI Governance and Assurance, Digital Transformation, and AI Adoption and Change.
- We're looking for people who are genuinely energised by AI and data, and who want a hand in shaping how organisations and how people work change for the better.
